When code becomes the way of heaven and the body becomes a prison, who can find a way to immortality in the gap between virtuality and reality? "
In 2145, the technology giant "Tiangong Group" controlled the uploading technology of human consciousness and divided the world into cold reality and illusory "spiritual realm". In order to save his sister who was forced to upload her consciousness, Lu Chen, a slum prosthetic repairman, sneaked into the spiritual realm, but unexpectedly awakened the "Eye of Cause and Effect" and glimpsed the ancient cultivation civilization hidden in the torrent of data.
Cultivators use codes as their spiritual roots and human nature as their fuel. Those who have achieved great mastery can rewrite the rules of reality and break through system permissions. However, the Tiangong Group's "Spirit Realm Immortality Plan" is permanently imprisoning human consciousness in the virtual world, while the "Anti-Entropy" alliance of cultivators uses cracking the secret realm code as a weapon to compete for the dominance of human free will.
With the help of cyber sword cultivators, Su Jiuli and Buddhist hacker Shi Kong, Lu Chen embarks on a path to change his life against the will of heaven: fighting ghost cultivators in the Fengdu server and deciphering strange rules; revealing the truth about the cultivation civilization thousands of years ago in the Tiangong core database; facing the arrival of high-dimensional observers, deciding the future of human civilization.
This is a collision between cyberspace and cultivation, a game between humanity and code, and an ultimate immortality that spans virtuality and reality.
